Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 243
243Tue Junction (3)
The moment the body of the prospective marquis leaned towards Bjorn Yandel, a man watching the situation from a distance chuckled..
‘The rumors were true.’
Even calling him a fool is not enough..
How can you do something like that in front of the Prime Minister?.
‘No, maybe he believes that the Prime Minister and other nobles will not blame him..’
Well, if you think about it, there was nothing you couldn’t understand..
A nobleman who will soon become a marquess, and a barbarian with a former explorer who is now a baron..
The difference is not only obvious…….
Due to the highly territorial nature of the aristocratic society, even more blatant bullying has occurred frequently and has been tacitly tolerated..
a kind of taming.
but…….
‘Still, I should recognize one thing about your boldness..’
The prospective marquis is not a knight..
I just took a few essences to create an intimidating appearance..
However, the explorer who is known to have won against the corpse collector is challenged in hand-to-hand combat.…….
‘Oh, by the way, I heard you were injured.?’
Belatedly, the man remembered that Bjorn Yandel was suffering from the aftereffects of the last battle..
Did poison penetrate into the brain??
At the last consolation meeting, I was sweating profusely just by walking normally..
Maybe that's why the Marquis did something like that..
‘……I'm just in a bad mood.’
The man frowned unconsciously as the future dawned on him..
The malice of nobility hidden in splendor.
A hero who suffers humiliation in front of everyone.
It wasn't a scene I wanted to see on my first outing in a long time.—
“huh?”
The man tilted his head..
This is because there were completely unexpected results..
The barbarian's body did not budge despite the prospective marquis's efforts..
‘……To what extent has recovery already occurred??’
Great.
That was when I was thinking like that..
The barbarian's shoulder muscles, which could not be hidden with clothes made of cloth, twitched..
and at that moment.
“Ouch!!”
The reserve marquis falls backwards as if there is a reaction..
“…….”
Even the music stopped and silence came..
I never understood..
‘……They say they're going to push the Marquis out of here.?!’
Something you would never do if you were thinking about getting behind it..
For some reason, the man whose empathy level increased felt more dizzy..
I was glad that my physical condition had improved and that I had not been subjected to such mean treatment.…….
‘I should have just pretended not to know.’
If it were a guy, I would have said, 'Haha, are your legs weak? You'll say something like 'I need to do some exercise' and turn it around later..
Because there is no risk that way..
Well, if you're a barbarian, you acted like a barbarian..
‘……If it was really him, he wouldn't have done it this way..’
So, is he a native barbarian after all??
The man was disappointed but kept an eye on the situation..
Still, you never know..
This may also be one big picture.…….
Even if it's not him.
Isn’t Bjorn Jandel a man who is suspected of being a player because he has shown exceptional growth?.
‘Let's watch for now.’
It was a time when I was straining my eyes with that feeling..
“Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
The Prime Minister called the barbarian's name in a troubled voice..
He already knew that too..
Not only the trick of the prospective marquis, but also how this barbarian responded to that trick..
‘Now, how are you going to get out of this situation??’
The man did not let go of his expectations for a twist until the end and waited for the barbarian to open his mouth..
It didn't take long.
Soon the barbarian shouted as if it was unfair..
“……Me, I didn't do anything wrong.!”
A protest without any logical defense, like a child throwing a tantrum..
“It's real! I stayed still, but he just used me to roll over.!”
They even go so far as to blame it on the Marquis..
The man felt lost somewhere..
“marquis! You too, say it! I just felt like rolling forward.!”
I remembered people with Yandel experience in the community saying that Bjorn Yandel could not be a player..
Only then did I understand what they said..
‘This is what modern people are like……?’
The man's eyes turned cold as he looked at the barbarian..
***
The title award ceremony is over..
To be honest, I don't really remember how it went..
I was bored.
The Prime Minister gave a speech using all the rhetoric that existed in the world, and with the words, “I am awarding a title on behalf of the royal family,” I became a full-fledged noble of this country..
And the banquet began.
‘Nimiral.’
It's different from the previous one..
At that time, many nobles came to me out of friendship or out of simple curiosity.…….
“…….”
There's no one around now.
Not only Baron Martoin, but even the Count who tried to push for an arranged marriage is only watching from afar..
A completely different treatment than the marquis or viscount over there surrounded by many nobles..
Well, it's not that I can't understand..
Because I was properly criticized by the Marquis for this incident..
‘Ha, it's really because of some strange bastard..’
Now that this has happened, I comfortably hold a piece of meat with my hand and tear it open, recalling what happened earlier..
[Bjorn, son of Yandel.]
How do we overcome this situation where even the prime minister looks at us as if he is reprimanding us?.
The answer I gave at that time was this.
The ignorant barbarian mode that always came to me and helped me a lot when I was in trouble..
[……Me, I didn't do anything wrong.!]
Anyway, everyone in the know knows that the marquis is to blame..
I decided to just shamelessly go out..
To begin with, political lines don't really suit a barbarian..
[It's real! I stayed still, but he just used me to roll over.!]
As expected, the Prime Minister didn't say anything to me..
[……roll forward?]
These are the guys who used to just hold a pen at their desk..
No matter how smart you are and how quick you are, you probably have no experience with this type of conversation..
[marquis! You too, say it! I just felt like rolling forward.!]
Even the nobles who accepted my actions as a challenge changed their attitude as the ignorant barbarian mode continued..
I realized it.
Literally, barbarians are a completely different race..
[……Kariot Kudo says: Is that true??]
Soon the Prime Minister looked at the Marquis with a cold gaze and spoke, and the Marquis was shocked and responded..
[Well, how could that be?! How dare that barbarian push me without even knowing the subject?—]
[stop.]
[……?]
When the conversation stopped, the Prime Minister looked at the embarrassed Marquis and just stared at him with a warm smile without saying anything..
Unspoken pressure not to make a big deal out of it.
[Yes, that’s right… Yes…….]
In the end, the marquis had no choice but to admit that he wanted to roll over..
That action also meant that the prime minister sided with me in this case..
As long as you are a noble, you have that much sense..
‘……Prime Minister, this guy also feels a bit uncomfortable..’
Anyway, one way or another.
The title award ceremony resumed as if nothing had happened, and the end was announced by handing over to me the essence decided two days ago in a luxurious box..
and now.
‘Should I just go back?…….’
As I was sitting alone at a large round table eating meat, the desire to go home began to boil..
‘Um, okay then let's just have one more plate..’
After making my decision, I asked the staff at each table to bring me another plate filled with only meat..
How long has it been like that?.
‘huh?’
When I turned my gaze to the approaching person, I saw not the plate of meat I was waiting for, but a man..
“Haha, nice to meet you. Baronet Yandel.”
The first noble to approach this banquet who had been completely ostracized..
As soon as we made eye contact, the barbarian's intuition spoke..
Something is suspicious.
no…….
“This is Hans by Baron Ifreia..”
This man is dangerous.
***
Hans Ifreia.
Hans I for short.
“……You're quieter than I thought.?”
As the youngest of the Barons, I don't have a title, but even so, I was out of breath..
‘Hans’ has noble characteristics.?
Isn’t this a type of Hans you’ve never seen before?!
“I am Bjorn, son of Yandel..”
After saying a few words, he said he was busy and tried to leave..
But then.
“Wow, here it is. Baronet Yandel.”
The meat plate I ordered in advance has arrived..
Perhaps considering my appetite, the employee brought me a mountain of meat on three plates..
“……thanks.”
Words of gratitude came out without me even realizing it..
But what is this again?.
“first… no see…….”
The employee looks at me with a somewhat impressed expression..
“I've never heard anything like that while doing this job.…….”
Ha, they are real nobles..
Soon, the employee asked me to tell him whatever I wanted to do, stood up behind me and waited for the next request..
‘……I just wanted to go.’
For some reason, I feel like I might unintentionally hurt you if I do that..
So I grabbed the meat with one hand..
“You were still eating. If you don't mind, would you mind if I listen to it together??”
An ordinary noble would either readily grant such a request, or turn it down and turn it down..
But I'm the barbarian of this city.
“That's a bit uncomfortable.”
Nopakku said it was uncomfortable..
Then Hans I's eyes narrowed..
“Hmm, that's a little different than I'm used to hearing..”
Somewhere, there are meaningful words and glances..
So I asked.
“It's different?”
“Ah, such nonsense. I just thought you weren't the type of person who would be uncomfortable with something like this..”
What is this guy??
The youngest subject of a baron with no title is strangely relaxed..
Also, his name is Hans..
‘……Why on earth did you approach me??’
I think I need to think about it..
After thinking for a moment, I naturally said.
“You should eat a plate too. Because I feel a little uncomfortable eating alone..”
“Ah, that's what I meant..”
At my words, Hans I ordered the food of his choice..
That's how our alone time came about.
“Nice to meet you. I was bored because I was still alone..”
I held out the hand that was holding the meat to him without even wiping it, and Hans I hesitated for a moment but held my hand..
Well, with a disgusted look on my face.
‘Huh, this makes it even more suspicious..’
Why do I have to stay here, shaking hands full of meat?.
I opened my mouth to find out.
The pieces of meat he was chewing were so big that he didn't feel any discomfort even if they splashed on his face..
“okay! Hans Ifreia? I like it! Let's be friendly!!”
“…….”
“Why don't you want to be friends??”
In response to my question, the guy laughed awkwardly, removing the pieces of meat from his face one by one with his hands..
“No, could that be possible?…….”
“Haha, I like it!”
Before long, the meal he ordered arrived, and we ate together and talked..
Congratulations on getting the title.
The weather is nice today.
Most of it was just small talk, and at some point Hans I didn't even touch the plate..
That's because all the pieces of meat that fell out of my mouth ended up on his plate..
“Why aren't you eating??”
“……I don't feel well.”
“Hmm, it’s uncomfortable for me to eat alone.…….”
An expression that means to take it out quickly if there is a purpose, and to turn it off if not..
So how will this guy react?.
The answer was really simple.
“If you're feeling uncomfortable, then I'll just leave..”
Hans I stood up without hesitation..
and…….
“Have a nice meal.”
He immediately left the place..
‘What was this guy??’
Could it be that you really just wanted to become friends??
“…….”
As I just left, I felt even more uncomfortable about this place..
***
Early evening as the day slowly began to set..
After sending Hans I off, I ran away from the palace and got into the carriage heading home..
Didn't you meet Hans?.
I have no idea what kind of incident I might get caught up in while staying in this place full of nobles..
‘Let’s start with purified water first..’
As soon as I left the palace, I asked for understanding from Keplo, who started closely escorting me again, and then took a test tube bottle..
‘Now that I think about it, I think this is my first time eating it without waking up..’
Corpse Golem, Orc Hero, Manticore.
The circumstances in which they drank purified water were all different, but in the end, they all took the purified water after breaking the test tube..
Anyway, it can't be recycled anyway..
Whoop.
When you put your nose to the mouth of the test tube and take a deep breath, the essence contained within is absorbed into the body like smoke..
「The ‘essence of Bayon’ seeps into the character’s soul..」
3Grade Monster Bayon.
There was only one reason I ultimately chose this guy..
In fact, it is more advantageous to take the essence of 'Vol-Herchan' to prepare for Aurors and increase combat power, but…….
Because the difficulty of obtaining it varies greatly..
‘Since I ate it like this, I can skip ‘Land of Immortality’ later with just the experience points..’
Bol-Herchan is a group entity and is easy to meet in the field, while 'Bayon' is difficult to meet and the characteristics of the field on which it appears are very difficult..
This selection of water purification looked more toward the future..
‘The characteristics of the integers are different, but there is no significant difference in specifications..’
Moreover, if you keep in mind the effect of the next spirit imprint, this is still a more reasonable choice..
「Soul power increases by +100.」
「Soul regeneration increases by +30.」
「Strength increases by +25.」
「…….」
「…….」
A feeling of fullness welling up from deep within my heart..
New vitality conveyed by small physical statistics.
After enjoying the afterglow for a while, I opened my eyes and saw Keplo smiling and congratulating me..
‘It's late today, so I can only go to the training ground tomorrow..’
I closed my eyes again, feeling regretful that I couldn't use my newfound power right away..
How long has it been since then?.
It's good.
Suddenly the carriage stopped in the middle of the street..
Did a wheel come off??
The moment I opened my eyes thinking that.
“I can feel the magic from below!”
Keplo, a human-born knight with a talent for magic, unlike barbarians, shouted..
and…….
“You should get off quickly—!”
There was a huge explosion and the whole place was engulfed in flames..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
A carriage broken into pieces in an instant.
Bleep.-!
Through the tinnitus that started ringing in my ears, I could hear the shouts of the knights..
“assassin! the assassin has arrived!!”
Damn it.
